The Scansonic MB1 B, MB2.5 B and MB3.5 Bs are all designed for near wall placement.
When Michael Borrensen left Scansonic/Raidho the Scansonic line was completely redesigned so that the break-in time was radically reduced and the three models were explicitly designed to work within 1’ of a wall.
Not theory. In practice, this happens. I have a customer who put MB3.5 Bs in his living room. Has them like 9” from the back wall and they are wonderful. I helped him set them up.
He uses a PrimaLuna integrated in triode to drive them which is like 35w.
These check all your boxes and deliver a huge, immersive soundstage.
